...includes 13 Roman Catholic members, Taizè was founded as a Protestant community in 1940. A Swiss theology student named Roger Schutz, then 25, came to France looking for a site for a Protestant experiment in monasticism. Schutz also wanted to help refugees from Nazism and thus chose the hamlet of Taizè, near France's German-occupied zone. There he and a few colleagues spent two years hiding Jews and others fleeing persecution...In the early 1960s, without invitation, a few youthful wanderers began to stop at the monastery to join in the simple, thrice-daily prayers and help...

...About 900 Tannese live in Ianapus, a hamlet where the laden branches of wild mandarin trees hang over small, dark-roomed dwellings thatched with leaves, and dogs and pigs lie in the dust. The tourists who fly half an hour south to Tanna from Port Vila, the capital, come mainly to see the molten belching of Mt. Yasur, the island's live volcano, and rarely visit places like this, self-sufficient communities connected to the world beyond their borders by little more than a web of narrow walking tracks. Money isn't seen here much, either. While few Tannese villagers...
